Your Question: What Operating Systems Can You Put on Raspberry Pi?
Contents

The Pi can run the official Raspbian OS, Ubuntu Mate, Snappy Ubuntu Core, the Kodi-based media centers OSMC and LibreElec, the non-Linux based Risc OS (one for fans of 1990s Acorn computers). It can also run Windows 10 IoT Core, which is very different to the desktop version of Windows, as mentioned below.

Which OS is better for Raspberry Pi?

1. Raspbian. Raspbian is a Debian-based engineered especially for the Raspberry Pi and it is the perfect general-purpose OS for Raspberry users.

Can you install any OS on Raspberry Pi?

Your Raspberry Pi doesn’t come with an operating system pre-installed. Rather than being a disadvantage, this means you can choose from a wide selection of operating systems (OSs). Any of these can be flashed to your Raspberry Pi’s SD card.
